ok, i know how to find an eigenvalue and an eigenvector that's fine, what i don't remember is how to normalize your eigenvectors

in my problem i have 2 eigenvectors, (1,3) and (3,1)

(1,3) corresponds to eigenvalue 10

(3,1) corresponds to eigenvalue 20

in my notes i have written 'to normalize make equal to one and solve', of course this was about a month ago and i have completely forgotten what i meant by that.

any help appreciated!

Usually, what is meant by "normalize" is to make the norm be 1, so you divide the vector by its length. Ie (1,3) normalized is (1, 3)/sqrt(10).
 
Yes to normalise the eigenvector the modulus has to equal 1. So it would be 1/sqrt(1^2 + 3^2) and 3/sqrt(10)
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
